Zamarada subincoloris Gaede 

 (Text-figs 372, 373; PL 77, figs 761, 762; PL 116, fig. 1048) 



Zamarada subincoloris Gaede, 1915 : 119, pi. 2, fig. 14. Holotype <J, Nigeria (MHNU, 

 Berlin) [examined]. 



O* genitalia (PI. 116, fig. 1048; Text-figs 372, 373). Apex of uncus rounded. Ventral 

 plate of gnathus broader than base of uncus, rounded apex shallowly incised medially. Valve 

 finely tapered apicad, only sparsely and minutely scobinate; apical fourth incurved towards 

 uncus, extremity then curved ventrad. Aedeagus tapered with a minute, thorn-like projection 

 at one-half. Apical fourth of fulcrum dilate, dorsal surface with two parallel, coarsely serrate 

 ridges. 



$ genitalia (PI. 77, figs 761, 762). Lamella postvaginalis rounded, posterior margin deeply 

 and narrowly incised medially. Smaller lamella antevaginalis uniformly and minutely 

 scobinate, posterior margin shallowly incised. 



Measurements. Fore wing: <$ 15-19 mm; $ 16-18 mm. Antennal pectinations: £ 8 X , 

 § 3 X diameter of shaft. 



Similar in colour and pattern to onycha, differing in shorter wing-span and the 

 narrower, slightly deeper distal extension of the hyaline area on each wing between 

 veins M 3 and Cu lh . In structure the form of the finely tapered valve, the large 

 ventral plate of the gnathus and the elaborately and coarsely serrate fulcrum in 

 the male genitalia and the form of the sterigma in the female genitalia are diagnostic. 



Distribution. Nigeria, Cameroun, Gabon. 



Material examined. 



Zamarada subincoloris Gaede, holotype $, Nigeria ('Sud Nigerien'): Opobo 

 (Schutze), labelled 'subincoloris Gaede Type' in Gaede's handwriting. The specimen 

 is the one figured by Gaede, matching exactly his illustration in the shape of the 

 antennae and in the minor tears in each fore wing. The data cited by Gaede at 

 the end of his original description (Kamerun: Johann-Albrechts Hohe, i.vi.1896 

 (L. Conradt)) were evidently in error. Type in MNHU, Berlin.
